waybar-cpu(5)

NAME

waybar - cpu module

DESCRIPTION

The cpu module displays the current CPU utilization.

CONFIGURATION

interval:
typeof: integer or float
default: 10
The interval in which the information gets polled.
Minimum value is 0.001 (1ms). Values smaller than 1ms will be set to 1ms.

format:
typeof: string
default: {usage}%
The format, how information should be displayed. On {} data gets inserted.

format-icons:
typeof: array/object
Based on the current usage, the corresponding icon gets selected.
The order is low to high. Or by the state if it is an object.

max-length:
typeof: integer
The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length:
typeof: integer
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:
typeof: float
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

justify:
typeof: string
The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.

rotate:
typeof: integer
Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).

states:
typeof: object
A number of CPU usage states which get activated on certain usage levels. See waybar-states(5).

on-click:
typeof: string
Command to execute when clicked on the module.

on-click-middle:
typeof: string
Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.

on-click-right:
typeof: string
Command to execute when you right-click on the module.

on-update:
typeof: string
Command to execute when the module is updated.

on-scroll-up:
typeof: string
Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.

on-scroll-down:
typeof: string
Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.

smooth-scrolling-threshold:
typeof: double
Threshold to be used when scrolling.

tooltip:
typeof: bool
default: true
Option to disable tooltip on hover.

expand:
typeof: bool
default: false
Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{load}: Current CPU load.

{usage}: Current overall CPU usage.

{usage{n}}: Current CPU core n usage. Cores are numbered from zero, so first core will be {usage0} and 4th will be {usage3}.

{avg_frequency}: Current CPU average frequency (based on all cores) in GHz.

{max_frequency}: Current CPU max frequency (based on the core with the highest frequency) in GHz.

{min_frequency}: Current CPU min frequency (based on the core with the lowest frequency) in GHz.

{icon}: Icon for overall CPU usage.

{icon{n}}: Icon for CPU core n usage. Use like {icon0}.

EXAMPLES

Basic configuration:

    "cpu": {
    	"interval": 10,
    	"format": "{}% ",
    	"max-length": 10
    }

CPU usage per core rendered as icons:

    "cpu": {
    	"interval": 1,
    	"format": "{icon0}{icon1}{icon2}{icon3} {usage:>2}% ",
    	"format-icons": ["▁", "▂", "▃", "▄", "▅", "▆", "▇", "█"],
    },
